What Makes a Great Wrestling Finisher?

Written by Darryl Craven

What exactly makes a great finisher? What is it that differentiates it from a good finisher? Well, you have to

1- Believe in it’s validity to K.O or submit an opponent.

2 – You have to believe it’s realistically viable to be performed under ones own strength with out opposition help.

The most effective ones are the “out of nowhere” finishers that can be performed at any time during a match. It might not score the pinfall if done too early but will serve it’s protagonist as a huge advantage. (more…)

Check out WWE Heroes #1 (WWEComics)

WWE Heroes comic #1 on-sale NOW Available from all good retailers and specialist comic stores.

WRITER: Keith Champaign
ARTIST: Andy Smith

Reviewed by Brad Dykens;

I received a copy of the 1st WWE Heroes comic book (I think the preferred term is “graphic novel”) in the mail the other day and I felt like I should say a few words about it here on OWW.

While I will admit that Comic Book Guy is one of my favorite Simpson’s characters, I can’t honestly say I am a comic book geek.   It just seems too fake to me, which may be funny coming from a pro-wrestling fan.  But why do fans watch pro-wrestling, anyway?  They are looking for something to help them suspend their disbelief and take them into a fantasy world.  So in that respect, the WWE and the world of comic books were made for each other.  I got a big kick out of thumbing through the pages of Heroes #1, marveling at the artists enhanced interpretations of the wrestlers already enhanced bodies.  Seriously, no character from this book is going to pass a wellness test any time soon.  Wait ’til you see what Mark Henry looks like.  The writer successfully blurred the lines between fantasy and pro-wrestling, purposely leaving reality out of the equation as not to confuse the readers. I honestly don’t think the WWE Comics are going to win the WWE any new fans, but if there are any WWE fans who happen to enjoy comics then they will surely enjoy this series as part of their collection.  I wish the creators of the WWE Heroes comic book great success and continued growth.  You can purchase a copy of WWE Heroes #1 at most retail stores that sell comics for $3.99.

My Weekly TNA Notebook

The Katz Files – Arnie Katz
My Weekly TNA Notebook

The Kingfish Arnie Katz provides insight and analysis based on the 3/22 episode of iMPACT.

Miss=Tuned Tune Time
If there’s a worse way to start a pro wrestling television show than the way the 3/22 iMPACT started. I haven’t seen it in over a half-century of watching it. The tune-put on Bischoff’s guitar must’ve been massive.

I hope that somewhere in a secret meeting, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan have to justify that segment. It might’ve worked if Bischoff was a sexy naked woman, but short of that, it had “failure” stenciled on it in red letters.
